LockedIn turns your iPhone into a single-purpose focus device. Tap LOCK IN, set how long you want to focus, and the entire screen becomes a wall-to-wall LCD timer โ€” Casio watch face, brushed steel or olive military finish, your choice. No menus, no notifications mid-session, no temptation to scroll just one more time. โ€”โ€” FEATURES โ€”โ€” โ€ข Block timer. One session, one duration. From 1 minute to 10 hours. โ€ข Pomodoro mode. Configure focus length, break length, and rounds on the Timer page itself โ€” the cycle runs automatically with a bell at every leg transition. โ€ข Strict Mode. Pick which apps you want blocked. During a session, those apps cannot be opened. Notifications from them are suppressed. Built on Apple's Family Controls and ManagedSettings โ€” the same technology Apple uses for Screen Time. Phone calls still ring. โ€ข Rotate to lock in. From any page, rotate your iPhone to landscape to instantly start your default session. โ€ข Two Themes. Steel daylight LCD or Olive military LCD. Classic, Modern, Data-Bank, and Terminal digit faces. โ€ข Stats. 7-day pixel bar chart, recent session log, daily streak. โ€”โ€” PRIVACY โ€”โ€” Everything stays on your iPhone. No accounts, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising, no third-party SDKs, no network requests. Your focus log lives in your phone's local storage and never leaves it. Delete the app and the data is gone โ€” there is no server copy because there was never a server. โ€”โ€” WHO IT IS FOR โ€”โ€” Anyone who wants a focus timer that feels like a real device, not another app screaming for attention. Built for deep work, study sessions, writing, coding, meditation โ€” anywhere a clean countdown helps. โ€”โ€” WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED โ€”โ€” No login. No subscription. No upsell. No "Pro" tier. No notifications outside of the one chime when your session ends. No data leaves the device.
